44 hits the Pentagon and the White House Press Room
Wow! 44 has not caught the need for prepared 30-second sound bites in DC - -amazing he did not learn that as a canned technique for meeting the press when he was in Chicago. In fact the gaps in what ran in Chicago and what is way not the way to do business in DC are amazing to many of us watching 44 moving & shaking. So he drops in on the Press Office and stumbles with a comment ‘you see why I don’t come down here’ whatever that meant, and then a meeting at the Pentagon with Gates and the Joint Chiefs and his E-ring hallway blathering was phenomenally without any prep effort. In fact, it seems to me that he has no media consultant – could that be? Or is his ego too large that he thinks it not necessary now that he is The Prez –ya think? My jaw drops when I hear him stumble in speaking with way to many ‘uh’s’ for any lawyer to be proud of in print. Next thing, 44’ll be using the word ‘stuff’ LOL Everyone, pace yourself and I will do same. Adios
